Using the iPhone Configuration Utility you can set up a lot more than just certificates. You can configure WiFi connections, VPN, restrictions, and a lot more.

But if you want to reinstall a profile after you make changes, you must delete the old one from the iOS device and get the new profile back on it and install it.
